Go Ask Alice

So I've decided that I'm probably going to be writing in my blog a lot more than all the other freshman, because i am a pretty avid reader. I finished Go Ask Alice yesterday after school. It was such a good book! Alice has her ups and downs and this book was definitely a page-turner. I think she was just a bit too curious about drugs, which eventually got her in trouble. She thought she could just do it once, but it turns out drugs are way too addictive. if she just smelled some marijuana, she needed some. i think what helped her through all that she went through was her family. When ever she would run away, her family would welcome her back with open arms, and they were extremely supportive. Those kids in school were just cruel. i mean sure, they didn't know giving her drugs in the chocolate would make her scratch off her skin and go crazy, but why did they want her to break down so easily? was it because they weren't as strong as her? I think so. they couldn't bare seeing someone who was off drugs. they thought it was the best thing in the world... why would someone not want it? At the end of the book you think Alice is getting her life together, but when you turn the page, you learn she died three weeks later. i just wish she could have kept the diary up until her death. maybe then we would have known what happened to her.

Mrs.AuCoin told me today that they found out the author of Go Ask Alice made the whole story up. now that's kind of depressing and weird, because the whole time you're reading the story, you keep remembering that this was a real person. But it wasn't. Oh well. Still a good story. I would recommend it to about anyone.

My mother told me that before i read the book i should try to look for the bad things about drugs. Anyone who is already curious about drugs should read this book, because even though at the end of the book Alice says how much of a bad choice it was, for someone who already wants to try it, they will overlook the bad things and Go Ask Alice will just be motivation. So i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is curious about drugs.
